Results
Record results in a suitable table.
Attempt Angle of incidence (°) Angle of reflection (°)

1 35

2 16

3 25

Analysis
Compare the angle of incidence with the angle of reflection for each block.

Evaluation
The light rays should obey the law of reflection for every attempt. To what extent do the
results show this?

4- To investigate the refraction of light by using a glass slab.


 Place a glass slab at the centre of the space given below and mark its boundary
EFGH with fine pencil.
 Remove the glass slab. Draw any line AB making an angle of 400 with the normal at
the point B, the middle point of EF approximately.
 Put the glass slab back in position on the boundary line. Fix two pins P1 and P2
vertically on the line AB at least 5cm apart- and one pin close to the slab.
 Look for the image of these pins in the slab from the opposite side GH and fix two
pins P3 and P4 so that they are in the line with the image of P1 and P2 as seen
through the slab and at least 5cm apart.
 Join the pricks of P3 and P4 to obtain the emergent ray. Draw a normal to GH at the
point C. join BC to get the refracted ray.
 Measure the angle of incidence and angle of refraction. Produce AB forward and
draw a perpendicular from C on AB produced to meet it at P. Then the lateral
displacement = CP.
